Just updated with new photo's, K-Mart has also upped the price to $4.50. I've noticed a lot of people (like myself) have a hard time getting their Aero-Wipers working like new again without having their wallet raped by a VW dealer, here's my solution which I hope may help others. (My appology to anyone who already knows all this).
Step1: Go to KMart and get a set of these rubbers for $4.50.
Step2: You only need to remove one endcap (jiggle each end of the wiper blade rubber back and forth and the end that doesn't move is the one you want to remove to get at the little tab/clamp holding the rubber) Remove the end cap by gently levering it off with a small screwdriver (If your end caps aren't coming of easily, don't force them, just dip the cap into some hot water for a minute and this will soften the plastic and make it flex off easily without breaking):
Separated end cap:
Step3: Here is a shot showing the little tab/clamp after the end-cap is removed, using a small screw-driver lever up the little tab/clamp releasing the rubber blade so it can be slid out:
(can't post more than 4 pics so continued next thread)
Cheers,
Snowy.
